So riot removed my post for calling out a troll. Typical. Let's protect people who purposely throw games and silence those who want to expose them. This is why the community is so toxic. Maybe YouTube is the answer. Thanks for nothing Riot :/

Riot doesn't remove posts. The Boards team (volunteers, not Riot employees) removes posts that violates the Boards Universal Rules.

One of them is 'No Name & Shame', which I assume is the one you broke considering you said you "called out a troll".

Let's protect people who purposely throw games and silence those who want to expose them.

Because, if you had bothered to read our rules before posting, we don't want that stuff on the Boards.

For one, nobody on the Boards has authority in-game, so you calling attention to someone here does absolutely nothing since you can just file a support ticket or report them. It's nothing more than needless clutter to us.

They most likely removed it for naming and shaming which is against the boards rules

I removed your discussion for naming and shaming. You posted a picture of the post-game match, and had enough evidence pointing to your problematic player. You also had several comments pointing/picturing the name of the player.

The boards is not the place for witch hunts. If we allowed posts like yours, anyone would be able to make posts about anything about a player. I'm not saying you were lying, but that's the worst case scenario.

Secondly, Rioters don't have to look at these boards, nor look into these claims even if they had happened to look at your post. The only way to guarantee a Rioter looks at this is if you send in a Support ticket or message them on Twitter, particularly if you hadn't used a post-game report.
